Former Liberal MP Daryl Maguire has been handed a 10-month jail sentence for giving misleading evidence to the NSW corruption watchdog.
Maguire was a witness at the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in 2018 during an inquiry that focused on the former Canterbury City Council.
The ex-member for Wagga Wagga was quizzed about whether he expected to benefit financially from a multi-million-dollar property deal.
In the witness box, he initially denied ever doing business with a former councillor or seeking payment for brokering a deal on behalf of a Chinese property developer, before intercepted phone calls between the pair were played to him.
Maguire was found guilty in June, after Magistrate Clare Farnan found his initial assertions that there was nothing in the deal for him were “clearly misleading”.
